WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – Already having won the Freedom Conference Player of the Week Award earlier in the week, Men’s basketball senior Cody Moffett (Brooklyn, N.Y.) has been named the PrestoSports Player of the Week, PrestoSports announced.

The PrestoSports Player of the Week distinction is awarded by the New York Area Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association, who evaluate players of the nearly 75 schools in the tri-state area. A panel of eight media members selects one male and one female as the metro area players of the week.

Last Wednesday, Moffett helped the Valiants knock off defending Freedom Conference champion King’s (Pa.) in a double-overtime thriller. Manhattanville’s leading scorer registered 27 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists in the contest. The last of those 27 points, a free throw late in the second overtime, was Moffett’s 1,000th career point, making him the third Valiant this season to record his 1,000th career point.

On the road at Delaware Valley Saturday, Moffett scored 18 points and added 15 rebounds and five assists to help the Valiants defeat the upstart Aggies 77-71. Down by six late, Moffett sparked the Valiants to regain the lead, with five points down the stretch.

Last night, before the Manhattanville win over FDU-Florham, Moffett was honored for scoring his 1,000th career point. On the season, Moffett is averaging a career-high 18.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

The Valiants (14-6, 6-2 Freedom) face Freedom-leading DeSales on the road Saturday in a pivotal Freedom Conference game, beginning at 3:00 p.m.
